SELF-SUPPORTING
IN ALL ASPECTS, ENABLING
MAN TO CONTINUE THE
ETERNAL SEARCH FOR
OTHER FORMS OF LIFE
IN OUTER SPACE.
THE YEAR IS 2100.
NARRATION:
Moon Base Alpha. The well established and colonised space station is regularly monitored and smoothly functioning. This existence is made possible by a specially developed nuclear support system fed by nuclear waste from Earth. Everything proceeded normally, until one day on the dark side of the Moon, a malfunction started in the nuclear plant. The resulting chain reaction caused an immense atomic explosion, blasting the Moon out of Earth orbit.
The near crippled Moon Base Alpha plunged deeper into outer space, virtually in free flight in the Universe, unable by its own resources to return to Earth. For the survivors of the doomed Moonbase Alpha, the date time is now well into the twenty first century.
